Creon

Creon was a figure in Greek legend, most notably as the king of Thebes who succeeded Oedipus. After Oedipus's sons, Eteocles and Polyneices, killed each other in a dispute over the throne, Creon took control of the city. He ordered that Eteocles be given a proper burial, but declared Polyneices a traitor and forbade his burial. This decree led to a conflict with Antigone, who defied Creon's orders to bury her brother, resulting in her condemnation and eventual death. Creon also had a brother who was king of Corinth, and father to Jason's second wife.123
